Epidural's are far from safe. They cause bi polar or psychosis. Lidocaine contains tocainide, which is recorded for causing psychosis. Lidocaine has also been withdrawn from animals reared for food consumption as a precaution. I have memory loss from lidocaine after a surgeon provide me with four injections. Toxicity occurred as a result psychosis developed. In 1996 I had psychosis after a series of dental treatment close together. So epidural is not safe , they are not monitored and may cause brain damage.

Epidurals should be taken only when you are unable to bear the pain. Natural childbirth should be enjoyed as such.Epidurals can relieve pain during delivery and it is the decision of the women to choose or not to choose.

I have had two normal deliveries and both were without epidurals. I am glad that i didn't opt for them and could bear the labour pain. It was a really memorable experience.
